God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
BTTT!
I don’t oppose same-sex marriage but do oppose marriage between other than one man and one woman.
It is, truly, intrinsically and objectively disordered.
I agree with this article.
Unfortunately, the left has successfully so far, defined the debate in terms of “equality” and “discrimination” against homosexual couples. And in leftist world, “discrimination” is the original sin they cannot tolerate.
So to prove they don’t discriminate, the left has demanded that we allow homosexual marriage.
To be truly liberal and non-discriminatory, we will eventually have to allow polygamy and group marriages, which will contain any number of partners, any gender of partners.
And to be truly equal, other changes may be coming. For example, I would expect court challenges to issues such as tax exemptions for dependent children. The childless homosexual will argue that all couples are not being treated equally, if those with children get a tax break. When put before a liberal judge, I would not be surprised to see issues such as these litigated and granted by courts.
Genesis 1
English Standard Version (ESV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Well said and well reasoned.
I’ve really had it with this.
I saw video of some Christian men protesting the Seattle Pride Parade last weekend. A transvestite came up to them and utterly demolished the man who was speaking by using obscure passages from the OT (about things like not wearing different fabrics and selling his sister as a bride for two goats) against him and demanding he “live out what his book says.”
The Christian shut up in the face of this freak’s argument.
What I want to see is someone, full of the power of God and His Holy Spirit, showing up to one of these events. When confronted by one of these unholy freaks, I want them to look them square in the eye, point their finger straight at them and clearly say, “In the name of Jesus, DEATH to thee!” And then the freak would scream and fall, graveyard dead. I want to see this applied again and again and again until the mere sight of this man or men like him will cause these perverts to either run screaming from the area or fall down and repent instantly.
Is that too much to ask?
“Is that too much to ask?”
Certainly not! Unfortunately, part of the problem is the whole notion of sola scriptura. Lucifer’s always been able to cite scripture. Nothing new there.
Another problem is that non or unbiblical sources are as adamant in confronting homosexuality (forget homosexual marriage!) as the bible. But academia has thoughtfully ripped out of preChristian literature all the pages dealing with ethics, logic and aesthetics. Aristotle’s deader than God, but the moderns get full coverage. Arguments aren’t even possible under these conditions. No winners because there are no universal, timeless rules.
“In the name of Jesus, death to thee”.....errr not gonna fly. Jesus came to bring life and light. For those rejecting the truth their fate is sealed unless repentance happens. Let God be the giver and taker of life. This earthly life is temporary and God allows such willful nonsense for a season but a corruption of His word will not make it too far into eternity without consequences upon final judgement. The wicked prosper for a season but then its gone forever for them. That’s scary indeed and the “no fear of God” is dangerously stupid but yet many choose it. Yikes....

If half of the men turn queer they will need to allow polygamy to replace the husbands lost to queers.

Homosexual marriage is like a man claiming he is a farmer but burns both the hay and the seeds to keep his living quarters cozy. It is a potemkin fraud.
Scripture is far from alone in condemning sodomy. Every western society since the beginning of societies has condemned it, many before there was any scripture at all. Condoning it, of course, is another story; but even then, only the elite got away with it. And apparently condemning sodomy (even as only part of the natural law ethic) works: western civilization outpaced the rest of the world in every measure of progress.
